About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like gentle, magical animated adventures such as Wolfwalkers or The Secret of Kells; Not for you if you need fast pacing or constant laughs.

Pros: storybook visuals; Irish folklore magic; haunting songs | Cons: slow pace; predictable fairy-tale beats; some vague mythology
